When using the reply button to quote a post, the quote MyCode inserted in the editor is wrong if the quoted user has an apostrophe in their username.

Example: Username: "Fardel's Bear"
Action: Click Reply on a post by the user
Created quote code in the full editor:

[quote=Fardel pid='1' dateline='1421574511']
This is a test post for testing MyAlerts...
[/quote]

I've not looked at the code, but I can confirm this on a fresh install of the current dev version of MyBB 1.8 and a live forum running 1.8.3.

Can confirm this.

Confirmed this too.

I can confirm on latest mybb (github)

looks like the issue appears for usernames with special characters...

Yup. The PHP code seems fine, but SCEditor seems to do something strange to the characters. That's what I found whilst testing apostrophes last night anyway. A quick (kind of working, but not quite) solution was to escape apostrophes, but the username then gets corrupted when the post is saved...
